“The first spring on the Paintrock was a really good one! We got hit with ample rain and snowfall and had a healthy lot of calves. By April, the grass was knee high. The fishing is unreal up here and we even snuck in a couple quick weekend trips to Meadowlark for some spring skiing. The ranch is covered predominantly with cool season grasses that green up in early spring and fall. Seasonality plays a huge role in ranching and managing your livestock, so it’s cool to witness the new country and different behaviors of it all and how that affects your operation.”  Ranch apprentice Dylan (@dillybean_s) on spending his first spring at the Paintrock. #PeopleOfRanchlands Photo by @nattesferd
